So there's been a few weekly sheep now and they've been a great addition to the games here. I was taking a look at how we could encompass some other elements into a game of sheep and thought this might be worth a shot so....
Welcome to...
LAST. SHEEP. STANDING!!
![[Image: 4fc73ecf10f4f5bdc79776cfa7cea1b6.gif]](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/4f/c7/3e/4fc73ecf10f4f5bdc79776cfa7cea1b6.gif)
The premise of the game is very simple, keep sheeping! I will ask one question per day and you all submit your answers to me via PM (don't post them on thread please!)
If your answer sheeps, you're through safely to the next day.
If not....
YOU'RE OUTTA HERE!!

(Ok not really...)
Everyone has THREE lives to begin the game with. That means that you can afford a bad day, or if you miss a day due to RL then you won't get immediately booted and you have a chance to redeem yourself.
I'd hope everyone would continue to play along anyways until the end for the benefit of the finalists anyways...
Dont worry too much about the nitty gritty of it all, I'll take care of that stuff anyways, just answer the question each day and I'll do the rest.
So a crazy idea? It'll never work Necro, you're insane!!
Maybe not, but let's give it a whirl.
I'll post the first question tomorrow morning around 10.30am and there will be 24 hours to submit your entry each day.
On your marks....
GET SET...
SHEEP!!

Ha ha, I thought about doing exactly this earlier, but decided it was a crazy idea
If anyone can make it work, though...

I think allowing a small bit of leeway to get one or two wrong is the way to go, otherwise it might be a very short game
In!

Oh I should have mentioned in the OP but Googling an answer is obviously allowed for the questions, it is sheep after all....

What he said...
Wooohoo the more sheep the merrier
I'm in but could be first out given my previous record
Will give it a try!
What do we do if we get to two sheepsters standing, with equal lives left?
Looking forward to a hopefully not Day 3 exit

Fight to the death in the Thunderdome. Otherwise it could just drag on for days.

You should revoke FoG membership for anyone who doesn't enter. You can do that, right?
In! (Although probably not for long
)
Another 3 entries this afternoon, I'd say we will pick up a few more later in the day too.

I can tell you... if you went for our rowing sensations Paul O Donovan or Fintan McCarthy...
You'd have earned yourself...
![[Image: 88g6QGa8x9Oy.gif]](https://img.gifglobe.com/grabs/fatherted/S02E05/gif/88g6QGa8x9Oy.gif)
Indeed if you went for Pat O Callaghan of the hammer throw, Bob Tisdall for his hurdling heroics, or Michael Carruth for putting Irish boxing on the map you'd also be kicking yourself...

It's not great either for poor old quickbeam who is the sole selector of Michelle Smith...
That's one life gone there QB

Did the recent euphoria overcome you...

Or perhaps you went with a 2012 hero..
